The Columbia Institute for the Deaf, Washington, D.C.  Eight Delaware pupils
are enrolled and are making good progress, a letter from the President of The
Columbia Institution is herewith enclosed asking for an increase in the tuition
of Delaware pupils for the reasons stated, in as much as the State is paying
the Institution at Mr. Airy $350.00 and the Delaware law in the case specifies
that the expense to the State shall be the same as paid in Pennsylvania
Institutions by native pupils, it would seem that the Kendall School receive an
equal amount for the sane service.  The following pupils are making good
progress:

	Robert Johnston, Holly Oak, Delaware
	Florence Johnston, Holly Oak, Delaware
	Pearl Roberts, 915 Church St., Wilmington
	Mabel Sines, 1002 Pine St., Wilmington
	Ida  Ellingsworth, Seaford, Delaware
	Ella McCabe, Selbyville, Delaware
	Edward Lynch, Selbyville, Delaware
	Olivia Peterson, Dover, Delaware
